St. Patricks Day in Savannah Georgia

Savannah, Georgia is the oldest city in Georgia with a rich Irish heritage. No wonder it’s also home to arguably the second largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the United States. In 2012, there were over 400,000 in attendance for this week long celebration.

It starts with the coloring of the fountains in the beginning of March. This represents the 1960’s attempt at coloring the Savannah River green, an attempt that clearly didn’t produce results.
